A man’s car overturned and he emerged unharmed; does he prostrate in gratitude?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A man was in a car accident while driving, and the car overturned, but he got out unharmed. Does he prostrate or not?

Answer : He prostrates, because this calamity had a cause, which was the overturning, but he was saved. So we say now: a calamity whose cause was found has been averted from you, so prostrate in gratitude.
